About
People ask who I am, and my friends call me “Kate the runner.” I like to think of myself as Kate, the:
runner,
lover,
laugher,
confidante,
drinking buddy,
reader,
terrible pun maker, and
friend.
A lofty aspiration? Perhaps. But I guess that’s part of who I am too.

i am a terrible pun maker too. i always try to out-pun my mom but she is the master and i never fail to…well, fail
i saw on hangry pant’s “fun facts” post that you are from Pittsburgh (i know that sounds weird but i just saw Pittsburgh on the screen and it caught my eye!). I am too! What part of the city are you from?
I think I got my penchant for punmaking from my maternal grandfather. He still out-puns me to this day!
I am, in fact, from Pittsburgh! I grew up in Wexford and went to Carnegie Mellon for undergrad. I miss my hometown!! Where in Pgh are you from?
I’m from the South Hills area but I’m moving this fall to Shadyside/Squirrel Hill to attend Chatham University. Did you move from Pgh? Where do you live now?
Hi Pittsburghers!! I’m a transplanter from upstate NY, currently a Shadysider.
My hubby lived in Pittsburgh for a time for school. I would drive from DC to visit him. I really love that city.
Beautiful blog, Kate!
that is such a beautiful picture!
p.s. I make some bad puns too. And end up the only one laughing, which doesn’t bother me a bit by the way!
Hi Kate (anfd fellow member of FYAA lol) ! So glad I found your blog and I look forward to following.
Glad I found your blog! I think those are all great things to be. Making bad puns makes things fun!
Hi Kate!
Thanks for popping by my blog! I’m so glad you did – can’t wait to continue to read yours! We have LOTS in common
xoxo
My pleasure! I’ve really enjoyed reading!
Show me the man who loves not pun, for I doubt his existence!
Love the blog
Great page – simple and beautiful! Can’t wait to read more!
You are beautiful! I am excited to read more!!
Aw thanks, Kelly!!
You might want to add, ” the best daughter – in – law any mother could have!”
Thank you for the kind words! =)
I love that you think of yourself as a drinking buddy. So glad you’re willing to be a friend when someone needs you! Katherine
Gorgeous photo! Also, I never knew your were called Kate! Should I call you that??
Haha I go by both, actually, so it’s up to you!
Hi girl! I love the new site! I’m so impressed that you taught yourself HTML. I took a class at Duke in website design (the class that spawned my blog, actually) (did I really just use the word “spawn” to describe the genesis of my blog? ewww) AND I know how hard it is! I do a lot of my own coding, too. It’s a really great skill to have.
AND, oh my GOODNESS you are gorgeous!
xo
Aww you make me blush
I fully support usage of the word “spawn.” It makes me giggle.
